| OBJECT: | Disperse 14,000 lbs. of zinc oxide into water and Darvan* surfactant for insulator manufacturing. |
PROBLEM: | The required amount of zinc oxide to make a 2,000 gallon batch could not be accomplished without plugging up the alternative dispersion device. |
RESULT: | Continuous dispersion of 100 pounds per minute at 48% solids was completely wetted out without any lumps or agglomerates. |
AB MIXER: | Model D-6000 ARDE Dispershear with Super-Sack System to deliver powder in dust free environment. |
Benefit: | D-6000 Dispershear operates in a recirculation loop to a process mixing vessel using the CSTR principle (Continuous Stirred Reactor). Since no lumps are propagated, a continuous process is trouble free. |
EQUIPMENT REPLACED: | Ytron Disperser |
